Okay. Strange!

I wonder what the latest Windows update did. :o Because I'm definitely now noticing changes.

Thank you for your prompt response. :)


edit: I went looking because it's a mystery to be solved. Evidently I had reset the zoom level when clicking for something else. Whew. Set it back to what it was. So much better now! But I don't know how I did it in the first place. :blink:

Oooooh my goodness, how exciting! I cam back JUST in time to bid the old HOL farewell and then see the new one unfold. Wow. And thank you SO much for all the hard work. I'm a web designer and know how mammoth this entire project must have been, and how intense this testing period can be. My offer still stands (if my email reached you!), to donate my eyes in case you run into any bumps and need an extra set. :)

(aaaah, sooooo excited!!!...)

This sounds so exciting! I have been on and off of HOL for more than a few years now and I am excited to be here before the changes happen! Is there a specific date set for the new version? Will it be before the new school year?

:rolleyes: I'm sure it's going to be fantastic!

This sounds SUPER exciting! I am sure the changes will be good as the HOL website is outdated in every aspect possible. Making it more mobile accessible and in general cohesive will definitely be a step forward! Looking forward to seeing what you guys have been working on so diligently.

This is gorgeous. The background actually reminds me a little of my phoneskin which I spent quite a lot of time picking. It's really a beautiful background. And "New Posts" has moved out of a hidden menue! This will make my life of checking HOL one click easier every time - Yay!
